How to install previous versions of tools_ifw

[itviewer]

This command lists the latest version of tools_ifw which is qt.tools.ifw.46

aqt list-tool linux desktop tools_ifw

but I want to install qt.tools.ifw.45, is it possible?

I think aqtinstall get version info from https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/tools_ifw/
Is it possible get old version info from https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt-installer-framework/

Unfortunately, that's not supported by aqtinstall right now. We looked at this possibility in #383; maybe it's time to revisit that idea?

@ddalcino
Thank you for your response. I didn't realize that implementing this feature would require some effort. I will temporarily use other methods to solve this problem manually. However, it would be convenient if this tool could support this feature in the future!

Here is a past trial of installation from offline installer files which is located under https://download.qt.io/official_releases/

There was no further information given from contributors, it is abandoned.

@itviewer if you are willing to make it working, you can make it reborn (fork to you), and progress it and complete the feature.

You can find a branch, topic-dev-cuteci that partially implement a old versions and tools feature. @itviewer

Here is a project that has a feature to install a specific Qt version from offline installer. The branch topic-dev-cuteci intend to add a similar feature in aqtinstall, and use some codes of the referenced project.

When you are interested in contributing feature, you can clone a topic branch "topic-dev-cuteci", and catch-up/merge current master branch and test, implement and improve it.
